Sugar Labs/Executive Director

The Executive Director (ED) is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the foundation and reports directly to the Oversight Board. The ED runs the board meetings and is the point of last recourse in case the board becomes deadlocked.

Walter Bender was elected by the during the 2008-09-19 board meeting as executive director, however (1) the Software Freedom Conservancy asked that we not use that title, as it would be confused with the SFC ED; and (2) since day-to-day operations of the project—we are not a "foundation"—are managed by the community, the role is not relevant.
